I had a 2003 and now have a 2011.

The hitch on the 2003 was a very "slim" looking design. The hitch on the 2011 looks like it is on steroids when compared to my 2003 hitch.

Somewhere on the forum is a side by side picture of the 2003 style factory hitch next to a good quality aftermarket hitch. The differences were amazing.
